Laboratories of Autocracy walked through the hidden breadth, depth, and intensity of the countrywide attack on democracy. The final chapters outlined thirty steps necessary to fight back. One of the most common responses from readers was-"I skipped to the end. I wanted to get to the solutions."
Saving Democracy is the companion book that skips to the end:
-It details how we all can and must play a role in saving democracy at this fraught time.
-It explains how all levels of the pro-democracy side, from national political leaders to grassroots activists to everyday Americans, must switch to offense.
-It explains how to stay on offense and win on offense. Immediately, and everywhere.
But it doesn't do this at 30,000 feet.
It's a user's manual, intended to spur action. Your action. After a quick review of the true battle for democracy we are engaged in, each chapter explains how YOU, the reader, can and must play the leading role in lifting democracy. It details the concrete steps individuals and groups can take where you live, lists resources that can help along the way, and offers case studies and best practices that have worked elsewhere.
Saving Democracy is structured to challenge and guide each reader-no matter your role in your community or politics or where you work-on how you each can play a more active and effective role in lifting democracy than you might have imagined. Over the course of the book, you will construct your own personal plan to fight for democracy. And when you're finished, you'll be ready to get to work.
